The Ultra Experience

Here's to the adventures of my life which are usually ultra marathon trail running or fly fishing but may include other trips, experiences, thoughts, opinions, or pretty much whatever I want. As co-founder of Altra Footwear my life and adventures seemingly revolve more around developing and promoting the best footwear in the world...and I love it!

Top 12 fish of 2015

2015 was the best year of fishing I ever had! I felt dialed all year and seemed to hit every hatch, river, and lake perfectly. Here's to the top 10 fish of the year along with a few of my favorite videos thrown in. 4 years ago I couldn't have even fathomed how good this years fishing was. 2016 will probably have a few more running days but I'm sure I'll have a few good days on the water too!

#12- Smile for the camera!

#11- Nothing says "I love you" like a 23 inch male Brown Trout!

#10-- Picture doesn't do it justice, this 21.5 inch Cutt was caught while stalking with a small dry fly. Perfection.

#9-- Green Drake hatch...enough said.

#8-- This 22 inch Brown was caught bouncing this streamer against a log. When it saw my streamer it came up out of the depths and snatched that thing up in full view.

#7-- Fattest Rainbow trout I ever caught. I couldn't stop laughing

#6-- Pays to fish through a rainstorm! Thats when the BIG fish come out and feed!

#5-- And I named it Pigbow!

#4-- Best fish with the absolutely worst picture. Yes its 25 inches and yes I caught it sight nymphing! Wish the picture was decent or it might be #2.

#3-- Thickest Brown Trout I've every caught. 24 inches of pure joy!

#2-- This hog leapt out of the water four times and and fought bigger then the image indicates. Amazing 23.5 inch Brown Trout that changed my life...
